Donate today to help us fill empty plates this winter

The continued rising cost of food means many working London families simply cannot afford to eat. The community organisations we work with all say the same thing: the cost-of-living crisis has not gone away and there continues to be a huge increase in demand for food support. 

That’s why we’ve launched our 2024 Empty Plate Emergency Appeal to tackle London’s hunger crisis.  

We want to raise enough to fill over 1 million empty plates this winter. Your donation will provide nutritious food to those who most need it.  

We get fresh produce. It’s like it’s off the farm because the quality of the food is so good and so fresh!

There is great camaraderie in the team and whether I'm out in the van as a co-driver or helping in the warehouse, I finish my shift with a smile on my face.

Barbara Gougoulis , Volunteer

There’s no reason for children to be starving or going hungry with the amount of surplus food that’s out there.

Michelle Dornelly , Children with Voices in Hackney

It’s extremely moving to see a line of people down the street waiting for your arrival. The food is quite extraordinary - stuff I hanker for when I go to the supermarket. Really exceptional fish and extraordinary cuts of meat.

Julia, Felix volunteer

At Ocado Retail, we’re so proud to support The Felix Project which is one of our key charity partners. In 2022, we donated the equivalent of 1 million meals in surplus food items and almost £1 million in cash. The funds went towards various projects such as refurbishing the Enfield depot and purchasing five electric vans with charging points.
